Michael van Gerwen kept his Premier League Darts title defence on course in Manchester, where a win over Dave Chisnall effectively sealed his place in the play-offs.

Michael van Gerwen strengthened his position at the top of the Premier League when he claimed victory in an excellent match against Robert Thornton in Sheffield on Thursday evening.
